Ebay Seller recommendations

PaleElf

I don't have the skill level most of you have to identify cleaned/altered surfaces coins from a photo, but I had been fairly lucky with purchasing raw coins over Ebay. However, I just received my first cleaned coin back from PCGS. Does anyone have any recommendations for Ebay sellers that don't sell cleaned/altered surfaces coins? Of if they do, they at least mention it in the description?

Ebay sellers resco, jkcoins, greattoning and kryptonitecomics are board members and sell coins on ebay, mostly consignments. They have good pictures, accurate descriptions (and will disclose if a coin is cleaned, etc and note other things like haze, fingerprints, rim bumps, etc.), and auctions are 99c no reserve so prices tend to end up at wholesale level. There are others like these but I cannot recall who offhand, other members may chime in.

There are many PNG members on ebay who are supposed to adhere to higher standards, but I will let them comment on such. The PNG sellers tend to have BINs and/or high starting bids near retail.

In the rare case we have a cleaned/altered coin on eBay, we simply list it in full disclosure.

PCGS details grade and then we note the problem and try to price it accordingly.

I will add to say that most of the board members selling on the BST (there and on eBay) generally describe their coins accurately and stand behind what they sell, so check the BST as well!

I am a collector and mostly a buyer of coins rather then a seller. I can echo the sellers mentioned as being top tier and all run real honest auctions with accurate images and descriptions. I buy regularly from a few of those listed. I have bought hundreds of times on the BST and you will find the sellers there are among the best folks you will encounter in this hobby.

Thanks for the advice. I have purchased some nice Franklin's from Resco in the past and like his current Trade dollar. I will start following the other recommendations as well.
